Ring Fit Adventure Catch All

I will never make fun of planking ever again.

I was obliterated by Dragaux at the end of world 7 earlier this week. I tried again tonight, and I mopped the floor with him. Not sure what I did different...

There's a side storyline where Tipp suffers an increasingly debilitating set of injuries, as a passive-aggressive cautionary note.

"Tipp's poor posture at his desk job has resulted in a herniated disk, so he won't be stretching today"
"Tipp has thrown his back out due to some overenthusiastic but inebriated marital relations on his birthday"
"Tipp forgot to lube up his nipples before a long run, and the resultant chafing means the Bow Pull maneuver is unavailable until they stop weeping"

This cracked me up. My son wants to write a book about Tipp's slow spiral into madness. He'll start by not shaving.

A little bit of RNG on the damage done probably. Sometimes the enemy hits for 3.5-4 hearts, which can be half of your total hearts, which is a bit much. Do you have one of those recover after being defeated smoothies in your inventory?

I had one, but I used it in that fight. And then Dragaux obliterated me again.

Fun fact: Yesterday, Tipp forgot his ring con, so he has to run off screen to get it

I had a battle against 1 character today where I fully blocked an attack in the first round, and they did a triple attack that took off over 5 1/4 hearts. I would have died if the first round had damaged me equally as much per attack. That felt really wrong. I also keep forgetting to change outfits for different focus types.

There's an element of grind in the game, which isn't really emphasized by the game design. After all, every level up bumps your attack and defense stats. To my mind, the further you go without failing and repeating levels, the more chance you have of being out-levelled by the game. It's a weird rubber-banding mechanic that's inherent in the way they've designed it.

I'm also not sure how the scalable difficulty level plays into that. If I play on max difficulty, am I getting more XP than with it turned all the way down (cos I'm sure doing a lot more reps)? And does that affect the aforementioned rubber-banding by granting me more level-ups?

I'm definitely starting to get to a point where I think I should go re-run earlier levels for a bit rather than just always plow ahead towards the next objective.

You can do sidequests too.

Trying to find this for my boys, and it’s out of stock everywhere. Anyone selling their copy?

I remember hearing consoles and accessories could be affected by coronavirus. Maybe shipment is delayed?

Question about the set bonus for outfits. I purchased the Flame Contender set that gives me the bonus "Increases Red-skill power by 5% " Is that a 5% increase on all red attacks against any mob, or a 5% increase in the red advantage against red mobs?

I think it's against any mob.

Inadvertently took too much time off, but then read an inspirational story about someone using thisngsme to make significant fitness gains. They atarted out doing 15-20 minutes per session.

So I woke up a little early this morning and got in a 20 minute session. I had to not let perfection be the enemy of progress.
Was it an amazing workout? Not my best. But I feel good about having knocked it out already today.

I think as long as you work up a little sweat it will have been worth it!

Got another workout in this morning. 2/5 this week, which was my goal. Next week 3/5.

Still playing this but I feel bad about not sticking to a more frequent schedule. I'm in the midst of World 5 which is a bit longer than previous worlds and those set of leg focused levels killed me last week. I woke up with my legs on fire so I rested for a few days and then I donated blood a couple days ago so that also put me back. I'm determined though. I will do better this week!

However, I do have a question. Does anybody know how many worlds there are in the adventure mode? Not sure if I'm close to finishing, halfway through or what.

Also, I'm a bit late but I added people's switch codes finally for the leaderboards.

I believe the number is 20. (I'm about to reach world 10 myself.)

Those "body part" specific trainings are hard. I did an ab one on Thursday that nearly* killed me too.

* Slight exageration.

I'm in World 5 too, been playing irregularly since launch, but I'm fine with slow progress, as it's been tossed into the exercise mix, so while I might only be Ring Fit'ing once a week, it's helping keep my other activities from getting stale.

Plus I'm developing a shoulder over-use issue from too much Beat Saber, so it's nice to have an alternative!

I've put about 10 days into this now and am really enjoying it. I really appreciate that it tracks exactly how much time I spent moving. My first play session was a little over an hour, but my total exercise time was just over 20 minutes due to all the set up. It makes it easy to not worry about how much actual exercise I am getting while playing

I've got two gripes so far. If there are any ways around these issues, I'd love to hear them.

1) The inability to tune difficulty for individual exercises. I'd love to increase the reps on squats or overhead presses without also pumping up the reps needed for planks and mountain climbers. Also, it seems like all the yoga exercises don't scale with difficulty at all. Is that right? Are they always 12 reps a piece?

2) No level scaling options. While I ordinarily appreciate the ability to power up via side quests, it seems like that's just making my workout easier. That's not my goal. I'm currently level 35, and the stage I'm on is 31. Are my only options to artificially de-level myself with inferior gear, skip side quests altogether, or increase my difficulty? I'd rather have tougher enemies than tack on an additional 3-4 reps to each exercise for now, so I don't really want to increase the difficulty.

Bought it a month ago and gave it a spin this morning. This is probably one of the most genius evolutions of fitness game design I've seen. It's exercise, but there's something about it that makes me look forward to playing more tomorrow. Or even wanting to redo a level because I know I can grab all of them collectibles now.

Only did the first world, and it's got me wondering if that's really enough, but I get the feeling they don't want this to be your sole form of exercise (what with saying to take walking breaks every so often). Regardless, I've set my alarm to wake up every morning, and I'm hoping this will be an easy way to get back into the swing of things and keeping a more active body and mind after a month of unemployment doldrums.

On a separate note, anyone have advice for the leg strap thing seeming to constantly slip down my leg no matter how tight I try to make it? I've used my exercise pants and pajama pants and I'm curious if jeans will work better (though I doubt it'd be a good idea given how not stretchy jeans are), and I've had to constantly readjust the placement over and over. If it slides down too far then the game doesn't read the motion accurately which can be awful for when it needs high knee rises or even squat form.

I'm thinking of using safety pins or something to keep it in place.

Sounds like it's time to invest in a nice garter belt.

Yeah it's worked better with athletic shorts than with pants for me. But still not good. Depends on the exercise.

I put it under the shorts and thought it did better but felt like I got some sweat on it, so didn't do that anymore. Don't want it stinking up the entertainment cabinet.

I had the same problem with the strap falling down on top of my slippery nylon athletic shorts. I just started strapping it directly to my leg under my shorts. It usually sits about 4 inches above my knee.

Yeah, it seems good under shorts directly to leg although sometimes my running shorts get stuck on the thumbstick. You can just wash the strap and hand grips every once in awhile.

Yup, strap to leg *not* over clothing, and cinch it tight. Mostly stays put.

Y'know I wasn't even thinking about exercise shorts due to the season but given that I'm indoors anyway I might as well.

Thanks!

Shortly before leaving for vacation, I tried to backtrack in the game some, going back a few worlds, partly to grind for xp and other stuff, and partly because I wanted a slightly gentler challenge. It didn't really work out! I wanted to step back from the latest world I was on because it felt like it was taking forever to defeat any enemy, but in going back, I instead just found that I was annihilating enemies on like the third rep of the first exercise. I need some Bethesda-style enemy scaling. I wish there were a way to at least complete the set of the exercise you're working on when it defeats an enemy, it throws off my rhythm.

I've found strapping to my leg about as high as i can comfortably place it works. Any lower and it falls down consistently. Stays put even on athletic shorts.
